Italian Deputy Prime Minister, and as many have seen defender of all things Italian, Matteo Salvini issues a strong warning to any who have considered ‘rejoicing’ at the Strasbourg attack.

Promising arrest of any who would consider celebrating the deaths of innocent people attending the Christmas market in France.

“Our postal police [service]is at the cutting edge and it is sifting the Web to find the heinous people who are celebrating someone else’s death,” ANSA quotes Salvini, he vows ”immediate arrest for anyone who has been rejoicing online over the last few hours.”

Three possibly four people were shot dead and 13 others injured, some seriously, in Tuesday’s terror attack near the famed Strasbourg Christmas Market.

The gunman, whom police and media have reported as Cherif Chekatt, a 29-year-old resident known to police for offences in Germany and France and for his radical Islamist views, has still evaded capture.

The Interior Minister promised on Wednesday that any found celebrating the shooting will be immediately sent to prison.
